"Buzz!"
A raging flame encircled Tang Lu's feet. He leaped up and kicked repeatedly at Ji Shang's face. At the same time, the Fire Fox Seal in his palm glowed brighter. He was planning to use the Fire Fox Seal after kicking. It was an undefeatable tactic.
However, Ji Shang's face was filled with a disdainful smile. He suddenly flipped the longsword in his hand, and the silver runes on the longsword soared into the sky. There was a faint response from the sky. He had already activated the power of heaven and earth. The surrounding power of the law of ice rapidly surged onto the longsword. Ji Shang shouted, "Power of the Spiritual Book — Frost Shield!"
A huge Ice Qi Shield hovered in front of the long sword. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" It shook off Tang Lu's three kicks in the air. Tang Lu fell back in a battered and exhausted manner. However, he wasn't willing to accept this kind of humiliation. His body suddenly leaped in the air, and the Fire Fox Seal whizzed out. [Good heavens! This playboy has unexpectedly made a breakthrough. Moreover, he has used the seventh layer of the Fire Fox Seal — Five Qi Seal!]
"Boom!"
The flames surged, and the Five Qi Seal crashed onto the frost shield. However, it was unable to shatter it. Instead, Ji Shang raised his longsword and charged forward. He used the frost shield produced by the Spiritual Book to smash into Tang Lu's face. "Bang!" Young Master Tang's face was covered in frost, and he retreated a few steps with a swollen nose. His face immediately turned red. He had lost.
"Tang Lu!" Tang Lan leaned on his walking stick and softly reprimanded, "Don't show off after losing."
"Yes, Grandfather …" Tang Lu could only respectfully stand by Tang Lan's side.
Ji Shang raised his longsword, and the power of the Spiritual Book on the blade slowly dissipated. He cupped his fists and smiled. "This is only the power of a high-grade Spiritual Book. A weapon embryo with a high-grade Spiritual Book written on it can activate the power of the Spiritual Book seven times in its lifetime. Everyone, the might of a Spiritual Book is already like this. One can only imagine how powerful the stronger Earthly Book, Heavenly Book, or even Divine Book would be."
Tang Lan cupped his fists and said, "The might of the Heavenly Book is indeed admirable."
Ji Lin smiled. "Duke Lan is too kind."
As he said that, Ji Lin took out a dark green jade flute from his sleeve and said: "This jade flute has the low grade Nether Tome profound energy that this old one personally engraved on it. It has not been activated yet. Which general wants to feel the power of the Nether Tome? It will also broaden the horizons of everyone present. It has been too long since the light of the Book of the Earth has shone on this continent. "
Lin Muyu frowned but didn't say anything. He could also sense the power of the Earth Tome. Although it wasn't enough to threaten his life, there was no need to challenge the Earth Tome in this kind of situation.
Ji Shang took the jade flute from Ji Lin and looked at the group of silent generals. He could not help but laugh. "Could it be … no one dares to challenge the might of the Book of the Earth? It seems that it is indeed as expected. The Heavenly Imperial Gate has reopened, and the era of ruling the country by force is about to pass. In the future, this continent will be the world of the Heavenly Tomes. "
In the crowd, Zhang Wei suddenly pulled out his sword and said, "Go f * ck yourself! I, Zhang Wei, am not convinced!"
Ji Shang laughed heartily. "It's the Imperial Guard's Deputy Commander, Lord Zhang Wei. Since you are not convinced, why don't you give it a try?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense. The people who inscribed the Heavenly Tomes in the Heavenly Book Pavilion all wanted to obtain a high position in the empire. This was bound to challenge the cultivators who originally held great power. It was inevitable that a battle between a scholar and a martial artist would occur.
However, Lin Muyu was very worried about Zhang Wei's safety. If the Heavenly Tome in Ji Shang's hands was an offensive type, Zhang Wei might die under the might of the Book of the Earth.
In the next moment, Lin Muyu slowly walked down the stairs and said, "Why don't you let me try?"
"Wait, Yu."
Feng Jixing slowly walked forward with his sword in hand. He looked straight at Ji Shang and said, "Young Master Ji Shang, my subordinate is a boor. Please forgive him for his words. Yu, since Zhang Wei is my subordinate, let me, the Commander, stand up for him."
As he spoke, Feng Jixing pulled out his sword. The Windcutter Saber glowed brightly. He smiled and said, "Young Master Ji Shang, let me, Feng Jixing, experience the might of the Book of the Earth. How about it?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Ji Shang's eyes. Then, he smiled and said, "Since General Feng wishes to experience the might of the Book of the Earth, then come!"
…
Feng Jixing let out a soft grunt, and the white Imperial Forest Cloak behind him slowly fluttered. Streaks of fiery-red fighting aura continuously appeared around his body. This was the King's fighting flame. It was unknown when he had stepped into the Holy King Realm. As expected, a sage did not reveal his true abilities!
Everyone retreated. A Holy King Realm expert challenging the might of an inferior-grade Book of the Earth was no laughing matter.
Ji Shang's cultivation was clearly far inferior to Feng Jixing's. However, there was no fear on his face. It was as if the Book of the Earth in his hand could overcome everything. However, his face was already covered in sweat. It was obvious that activating the might of the Book of the Earth also consumed his vital energy and stamina. He had already activated the high-grade Book of the Earth once. Now, activating the inferior-grade Book of the Earth consecutively was somewhat strenuous.
With a light flick of his wrist, the jade flute in Ji Shang's hand emitted a golden light that soared into the sky. It caused an earthen-yellow light to descend from the sky and continuously gather on the jade flute. In the blink of an eye, the power of heaven and earth turned into raging flames that surged towards Feng Jixing's body.
"Power of the Book of the Earth — Raging Flames!" Ji Shang shouted angrily. He had already launched his attack. He knew that his opponent was Feng Jixing, a Holy King Realm expert. Thus, this attack seemed to have used up all the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the Book of the Earth.
The raging flames whizzed forward, but Feng Jixing had no intention of dodging. He bent his body slightly, and his King's Combat Flame whizzed into his battle saber. At the same time, the Purple Electric Flame Wolf howled continuously as he executed the Demonic Blade Devourer!
Boom!
The raging flames clashed with the raging winds and lightning. Immediately, the civil officials fled in fear. Only Lin Muyu, Xiang Yu, Situ Sen, and the other experts remained unmoved. They stood there like mountains.
The whistling winds blew against Lin Muyu's white cloak. She narrowed her eyes, and a faint glow of the Dragon Blood Shield appeared in front of her to offset the impact of the Book of the Earth's power.
The raging flames continued to surge from the jade flute and attack his opponent. Meanwhile, Feng Jixing raised his Windcutter, and the King's Combat Flame around him burned even more intensely. Step by step, he faced the raging flames head-on. Under the impact of the raging flames, his face turned slightly pale, but the determination in his eyes didn't change. He suddenly opened his hand, and his powerful left hand grabbed the tip of the jade flute. Then, he let out a low roar!
"Bang!"
The jade flute shattered!
The carrier of the Book of the Earth, the jade flute, had already shattered. Immediately, the earthen yellow light in the sky disappeared without a trace. The jade flute in Feng Jixing's hand had already turned into dust. Wisps of jade powder flew from between Feng Jixing's fingers like quicksand.
After Ji Shang lost the Book of the Earth, he was directly faced with Feng Jixing's oppressive aura. Immediately, he couldn't move, and his face was covered in sweat.
Feng Jixing slowly scattered the jade flute's powder and smiled. "Looks like it's still too early for the Book of the Earth to replace the Divine Temple …"
Only after Feng Jixing's oppressive aura dissipated did Ji Shang take a deep breath and take a few steps back. His face was pale. The situation just now was as if he had walked through the eighteen levels of hell.
The corners of Xiang Yu's mouth curled up into a faint smile, but he didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Lin Muyu's Spirit Pulse Technique could clearly sense that Feng Jixing's King's Fighting Flame was at least twenty percent weaker than before. A mere low-grade Book of the Earth had actually exhausted twenty percent of his power. Based on this principle, five low-grade Books of the Earth would probably be enough to exhaust Feng Jixing's power. It seemed that there was a reason why the Book of the Earth was so popular on the mainland.
When Feng Jixing's handsome face was covered in sweat and he stood beside Lin Muyu, he said in a low voice, "My god, the Book of the Earth is indeed powerful … Damn it!"
Lin Muyu nodded and smiled. "Who asked you to show off?"
"I was worried that a heartless brat like you would embarrass yourself. You are the Divine Temple's Grand Deacon, a god in the eyes of the Empire's martial artists. Naturally, you cannot lose to the Book of the Earth. I am just a small commander of the Imperial Guards. It is not embarrassing even if I lose!" Feng Jixing said with conviction.
Lin Muyu knew what he was thinking and grinned. "Alright, count it on me this time. I owe you a favor."
"Heh, that's more like it."
…
The destruction of the Book of the Earth had somewhat embarrassed the Heavenly Book Pavilion's Manager, Ji Lin. Fortunately, Feng Jixing knew how to conduct himself and handle matters. He cupped his fists in a salute from afar and said apologetically, "Swords have no eyes. I, Feng Jixing, have accidentally destroyed the Book of the Earth. Please forgive me, Sir Manager. However, I will not compensate you. A Book of the Earth is priceless. I, Feng Jixing, am an honest and clean official. I do not have that much money to compensate you."
The crowd roared with laughter.
Ji Lin was also carefree. He cupped his fists and said, "General Feng, what are you saying? Swords have no eyes in a contest. This old man is already very grateful that you did not injure Ji Shang."
As he spoke, Ji Lin's eyes revealed a trace of coldness. He said, "However, the Heavenly Imperial Gate has not been opened for long. Many divine characters have been lost on the continent. It will take some time for the power of heaven and earth to gather again. Therefore, for the time being, there is no one in the Heavenly Book Pavilion who can write a Book of the Heavenly Book. If someone can write a Book of the Heavenly Book, I hope that General Feng can test the sharpness of the Book of the Heavenly Book again."
This was undoubtedly a provocation. At the same time, it was also a way to defend the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
Feng Jixing did not say anything. He cursed in his heart, 'Ji Lin, you old fox. You want to use the Book of the Heavenly Book to torture me? Dream on. If we were on the battlefield, I would have taken your life with a flying knife long ago. Would I give you the chance to draw on the power of heaven and earth? Hmph, childish … '
…
Not long after, the lunch banquet began. The tense atmosphere had also eased up a lot.
Not long after the banquet began, a familiar and melodious voice came from outside. It was Tang Xiaoxi.
"Princess Xi has arrived!" The disciples shouted loudly.
Everyone looked over. Many of them had only recently arrived in Lanyan City and had not seen the legendary second most beautiful woman in the world. Under everyone's gaze, Tang Xiaoxi walked in wearing a red fur soft armor, a white animal skin skirt, and golden cloud boots. She held a fiery whip in her hand. There was a faint smile on her beautiful face. In an instant, the dull banquet became radiant.
"Xiao Xi greets Grandfather." Tang Xiaoxi bowed to Tang Lan in a ladylike manner.
Tang Lan's face was full of doting. "Xiao Xi is here. Good, good. Take a seat."
"Yes."
However, Tang Xiaoxi did not sit beside Tang Lan. Instead, she sat on the floor beside Lin Muyu's table and said with a smile, "I'm late … How was the Heavenly Book Conference? Did you see the power of the Heavenly Book?"
"Yes … It's really f * cking powerful …" Lin Muyu said in a low voice.
Tang Xiaoxi giggled. "Mu, I want to learn the Heavenly Book inscription too!"
"Oh?"
Not far away, a nobleman raised his head with a face full of smiles. "If Princess Xi wants to learn the Heavenly Book inscription, I, Ouyang Bao, am willing to overstep my authority and be your temporary teacher."
He was the third young master of the Ouyang family. It was said that Ouyang Bao had already written two spiritual books and was considered one of the best among the younger generation.
However, Tang Xiaoxi did not buy it. She pouted and said, "Mu, why don't you learn the Heavenly Book inscription with me? Cultivation is so boring anyway, right?"
She actually had no intention of paying attention to Ouyang Bao at all!
